Multiple NFL Players in Concussion Protocols

Bears safety Jaquan Brisker remains in concussion protocol 15 days after sustaining an injury, highlighting his extensive history with concussions. Green Bay Packers linebacker Quay Walker and Atlanta Falcons tight end Charlie Woerner are both being evaluated for concussions following head injuries in their respective games; Walker's injury was caused by a teammate's leg, and Woerner was injured against Seattle. Additionally, Brandon Coleman of the Commanders entered concussion protocols after a head injury during a game against the Panthers, with his return dependent on passing the league's five-step protocol. As these players undergo evaluations, their teams have prepared backups to step in during their absence. These incidents underscore the ongoing concerns regarding player safety and concussion protocols in the NFL.
